"Political Correctnessis a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."

"Democrat choices for president: One candidate whose 20-year spiritual guru has an adversarial relationship with America, and another who has a life-long adversarial relationship with the truth." - Michelle Malkin

Their Legacy: Race Riots Doomed Detroit Forever

By Debbie Schlussel

Black Panthers and their radical allies, supported by a thousands of Black Detroiters, rioted for days, starting fires and destroying the city. They wanted more power in the city. They wanted a Black Mayor, a Black police chief, a Black city council.

Today, they have all those things. And they have nothing. They won the riots, they lost the war. And 43 people died--no, were murdered--in vain (along with countless others since). Continued

In 1984 I was a real estate agent at Veteran Real Estate.We specialized in locating affordable housing for Military Veterans.I received a call from a well-qualified veteran who had moved from Detroit. When I met with he and his family I asked why he left Detroit.

He told me, I was a Detroit police officer.I had to get out. It was too dangerous for my family.

"An elderly lady would receive her social security.Every month someone would break into her kitchen take a knife and steal her money.""I was assigned to stake out her house at the time she received her check.I sat in her living room and waited.I heard glass break in the kitchen. I saw him pick up a knife.I opened the door the rest of the way. I identified myself.I told him to drop the knife. He came toward me waving the knife. I shot him dead.""It was deemed a righteous shoot only because he still had the knife in his hand and the elderly lady witnessed the shooting.Had it not been for the witness I might be in jail myself.""A white cop can't kill a black in Detroit without proving it was justified." That was 1984. According to the above Schlussel Post nothing has changed. Except, maybe, there are no white cops.
